    I think they told me it was like that too I have no problem with that except I will have no ride so I hope the trainer don't mind taking me to the hotel hopefully with food around and dropping me off and coming back to pick up on Sunday honestly I'm worried about getting a trainer that wouldn't do things like that you know a real a hole and not one in a good way lol

    As long as the company is happy with them, sure. Your entire orientation is basically a job interview. I'm sure a handful may be weeded out at the beginning.

    Yea most if us got hired, then again most of them quit when we got our trainer packets. A few had to drive 400+ miles and they said to hell with that and quit. Not sure where their plans were but oh well. My train is 220 miles, starting my 2nd week on the truck. Very curious to see how many guys we will have come final week.

    Because they were talking about quitting, one guy even said he was gonna go back to swift cause of it. I was like dang, that's a little harsh but I guess some of them were pretty mad. I personally was setting myself up to have a trainer 500+ miles away, that way anything under that would be nice. It's only for 4 weeks. I wouldn't worry about not getting hired. As long as you can some what drive and you try then you'll be fine.

    ok thanks but what if your trainer is 350 plus miles away if you don't want to drive that every week end would McElroy get you a hotel room in your trainers home town ? and also would your trainer drop you off at the hotel
